PM: fixing mess Conservatives left behind

PM: fixing mess Conservatives left behind

Sir Keir Starmer is quizzed by Kemi Badenoch on council tax, National Insurance and the impact of Labour’s Budget at Prime Minister’s Questions.

The Tory leader, appearing at her second PMQs, asks the PM to confirm that he will keep the cap on council tax – Starmer says she “knows what the arrangements are”

Badenoch presses Starmer on the impact employers’ National Insurance increases will have on councils – he hits back on the Conservatives’ record on council funding.

The PM also defends his trip to the COP29 climate conference in Azerbaijan where he announced the UK would aim for an 81% cut in emissions by 2035

This was the second outing for Kemi Badenoch as Conservative leader at Prime Minister’s Questions – a crucial platform for her each week in shaping her leadership, both in terms of how she is perceived at Westminster, on her own side, and introducing herself to the country.

Prime Minister’s Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.

In most cases, the session starts with a routine ‘open question’ from an MP about the Prime Minister’s engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
